Novelis, a leading sustainable aluminium solutions provider and world leader in aluminium rolling and recycling, has officially announced the renewal of its longstanding partnership with Airbus. This contract renewal marks the continuation of their highly successful and collaborative relationship, which has endured for over three decades.
Steve Fisher, the President and CEO of Novelis Inc., said, "The agreement enhances the long-term partnership between Novelis and Airbus and exemplifies our leading role in providing innovative aluminium products and solutions for the commercial aerospace industry. We are excited to continue working with Airbus while advancing the development of valuable products at our Koblenz and Zhenjiang sites."
Novelis has secured a contract to provide Airbus with plates and sheets, including specialized wingskins explicitly designed for the A320 aircraft family. Crafting wingskins, in particular, necessitates intricate pre-machining processes to accommodate the extended components and the use of specialized alloys that adhere to the rigorous standards set by the aerospace industry.
Johan Petry, the Vice President of Aerospace and Industrial Plate at Novelis, said, "Our Zhenjiang plant is well-equipped to fulfil the need for wingskins, which require the highest-grade materials and precision machining. We are proud to have this type of expertise and infrastructure, alongside our know-how and capabilities in Koblenz, to continue delivering high-quality aluminium products to Airbus."
Novelis stands as the exclusive provider of aluminium flat-rolled products to the aerospace sector across Europe and Asia. Their facilities in Zhenjiang and Koblenz hold the essential certifications required to meet the comprehensive demands of the aviation industry.
